*This is a minor idiots guide*
If you're not an idiot - tough!!
Right,
Once you've got the actual dash binnacle out here's what you do!!
The XR3i clocks.....
First remove the two bulbs at the very top of the clocks (right on top)
Flip them over, you should see this.....
Push down on the clips and the cover can then be removed.....
Remove these two torx 20 screws....
And prise off the electrical connections on the back........
Using a screwdriver, ping out this plastic clip......
Then this one.........
The rev counter then comes out......
Remove the needle stop and note where the needle sits *.............
Gently remove the needle with a fork.......
Then remove these two torx 8 screws...........
Remove the mechanism - they are pretty much exactly the same i.e. no extra add on bits.
Ok, now do exactly the same with the Cossie ones......
Now in true Haynes tradition.......
Refitting is the reverse of removal!!!!
* Before I refitted the cover, I connected them up in the car and "Fine Tuned" the needle position using my secs and laptop to check the revs.
I have yet to decide where to connect the feed for the rev signal, I've only used one of the coil pack trigger wires (next to the plug) to test it. It should however work from pin one of either ign amp too!!
